Mr.. Roosevelt on the "Inde-
pendents.

\ notable speech was that of Theo-
dore Roosevelt at a dinner given in
his honor in New York city last week.
He responded to the toast, 1.-The re-
publican party, its professions and
practices. In speaking of the indie
pendent press, he said that its whole
stock of trade was a hatred of the re-
publican party, and that it had no
other issue but that. That press had
become fairly servile in its idolatry
of Mr.. Cleveland. One of the gen
tlemen of the above class, a promi-
nent Massachusetts Independent, had
said recently that the attitude of the
independents toward Mr.. Cleveland
should be that of confidence and not
of criticism. .'Was there anything
more servile than that 2" asked Mr..
Roosevelt. 1.-The mugwumps claim
that they are Independent, and vet
they are more partisan than either of
the old parties have been. Their de-
nunciatiOns of the republican party
were not in the tones of angry and
earnest men. but in the shrill. volnble
accents Of the yirago and the scold.
They talked very much of political

Railroad Earning.

The object of the interstate COM
MERGE act as explained by its friends,
while that measure was pending in con-
gress was to prevent the railroads
from unjustly expressing the people.
and it was confidently expected that
one of its results would be the cutting
down of the earnings of the roads. 1t
is. of course, as vet early to prOphesy
what will be the final outcome of the
operation of the act, but the returns
for the first month that the act has
been in operation dictates that who
ever and whatever may suffer, it will
not be the railroads. The reports
from 100 roads, having a mileage of
60,6O7, for the month of April, show
earnings amounting to S26, OBS, 900
or about $40 per mile, Il larger
amount per mile than for any April
since 1892, when for AZ roads, with
a milage of 81, 165, it was a little
larger. The increase in earnings
for April, 1887, over April 1886, for
the roads thus reporting, is So, 309,-
6j7. The month of March was a
most a excellent month for the roads,
their business being unusually large,
owing to the uncertainty felt by
shippers concerning the effect of the
law about to into effect. This in
crease in railroad earnings is to be
accounted for to some extent, by the
prosperous condition of business and
the active state of trade, but it is
worth while to note that the inter
state commerce law has not deceased
the receipts of the railroads, the
parties at which its authors aimed it.
1t may transpire that while the spec
pies friends" aimed at the railroads
they have been chiefly successful in
hitting the people.

honesty, but they reserved their full
weight of rancOr and malevOlence for
honest men. They omit what is true
and take refuge in that which is the
meanest form of attack-namely. an
attack by innuendo and misrepresent-
alton. They speak of our best men
in the same terms that they employ
for men who have been sent to Sing
Sing for theft. The effect of this
kind of attack is to keep honest men
out of politics. They talked about
improving American journalism and
American politics. hut they no more
than anybody else to keep honest men
from going into journalism and into
politics The reforms that we have
carried in this state have been carried
not with the aid of the mugwumps,
but in spite of them.

Vermont's Prosperity.

From a recent letter in the Boston
Journal from ''Forbes," we take the
following extract, showing that Ner-
mont is not bad state to live in.
''Vermont is not suffering from a
dry rot from protection or from any
thing else. The practical experience
of her citizens in the past and the
present prosperity of her farmers and
manufacturers vindicate the wisdom
of the Morrill, tariff. Under protec-
ton the state annually produces
27,0O0,O00 pounds of butter, 10, O0O,
600 pounds of maple sugar, ,000,-
900 tons of hay, 100000 pounds of
wool it raises thousands of blOoded
horses and sheep, and sends to dis
tant markets large quantities of
choice fruits and garden products.
Out of the millions of acres of rich
farm lands in the state are raised
products which are annually worth
more than $50. 900 900. The quar-
ries Of marble, slate and granite are
mines of wealth which coin for their
owners nearly So. 900 900 every year.
The scale works, organ factories,
wooden and cotton mills and other IN
dustrial works manufacture goods ev-
cry twelve months valued at nearly
$50, 200, 900. Here then we have
nearly $50, 900, 900 in round numbers.
as the value of the annual production
of the agricultural and industrial in
terests of this state. In this cOnnec-
ton it may be stated the banks in the
state hold $50, 100000 of the wealth
of the people in the form of deposits.
Since the enactment of the Morrill,
tariff nearly 800. miles of railroad,
representing an investment of S10,-
900, 900 have been built. War taxes
aggregating 100000 have been
paid. The state is out of debt and
the burden of taxation for the sup
port of the state government rests
lightly on the people, the greater por-
ton of the state expenses being paid
by the corporations. Protection has
greatly benefited Vermont. .

An Important Decision.

Among the decisions rendered by
the supreme court last week the one
in the case of the State VS.. L. B.
Goss is of special interest as involv-
ing the question of the legal rights
and privileges of the express COM
panies and express agents in handling
liquors. In this case L. b. Goss, the
express agent at East Barnet, deliv-
cred certain packages containing Ii
quor marked &c. O. d." and received
the pay therefor. He did not posi-
lively know that any one of the pack
ages contained liquor but admitted
in his testimony that he suspected
one of them did. Judge Ross in the
county court held that it was not nee
essary that he should positively know
what the package contained and or
dered a verdict of guilty. Now the
supreme court also rules that 1t is not
necessary that the express agent
should know that the package he is
delivering contains liquor but that
the test is whether he has reasonable
ground to suspect it.
This is an important decision. 1t
is a well-knOwn fact that much if not
all the liquor that comes into St.
Johnsbury is brought by the railroad
and express companies. These pack
ages are generally received in such
shape that they do not require long
handling or very minute eXamina-
ton to enable a man of ordinary in
telligence to Suspect the nature of
their contents. Now if this law can
be made general in its application
it will soon put an end to the special
liquor delivery system that prevails
hereabouts. The express companies
and their agents will hardly relish
the idea of being reckoned as mem
bers of the class that make living
by selling rum, and when they find
that they are likely to be prosecuted
and punished in just the same way
as other common rum dealers, they
may restrict their operations in this
direction.
Specially noteworthy too is the
fact that recent constructions of the
liquor law, especially where reference
is had to common carriers, all tend to
more rigorous and literal interpre-
tation of its provisions. If the law
is studied and decisions are rendered
always with a view of putting an end
to the traffic, we shall soon find that
we have pretty good law and con-
siderable of it. Let the good work
60 on.

Mr.. William O'Brien, an Irish pat
riot, came to this country few days
ago TO advocate the cause of home
rule as against the government poll
CIV of coercion, and especially to
speak in Canadian cities to tell the
people that Lord Landsdowne, the
Governor General, is a harsh and OPP
pressive landlord in Ireland. One of
O'Brien's first places to speak in was
Toronto, and here on Wednesday
night a disgraceful and cowardly
scene was enacted. While out walk
ing with three or four friends, o. Brien
was brutallv attacked by a mob and
one of his companions was knocked
down by a brickbat. They sought
shelter in a store and finally gained
their hotel, but not until the store
windows and goods had been ruined
and score of persons wounded by
flying missiles. Four policemen con-
stituted the only means of protection
visible during the melee, and they,
according to press dispatches, re-
manned As spectators of the shameful
proceedings. Toronto is an Orange
stronghold, and the cowardly attack
was made under the specious cover
of ''loyaltv" to the Queen and her
Canadian representatives.

1t is very evident that the Knights
of Labor organization is rapidly
approaching a crisis in its history.
For a considerable time there have
been two distinct factions in the
order. One believes in moderate
and fair measures, while the other
svmpathizes with socialistic move
ments. These two factions are
each growing, and both are endeav-
oring to drive the other out of power
in this order. The fact cannot be
disguised that the order has lost
many members during the past year,
especially in this section of the coun-
try, and by withdrawal of these mem
bers the socialistic element should
obtain full power, by deposing Mr..
Powderly, it would undoubtedly be
a deathblow to the order.

The new Indian Severalty law
passed by the last congress will re-
lease to white settlers millions of
acres of public lands now set apart
for the Indian tribes. Fortunately
the law contains provisions which, if
enforced, will give this land to actual
settlers, and keep it out of the hands
of spectators and thieves. The law
says that no patent for a quarter sec
ton of it shall issue except to a per-
son who has taken it for a homestead,
and only after the land shall have
been occupied as a homestead for five
years. This is a very important re-
striction. The principle which it en-
